Runaway Wife: Please, Have Another Baby!

Chapter 885: Chapter 885: A Slap (3)

Gan Yuan lightly nodded, and upon seeing General Barton walking towards her, she immediately smiled and walked over, extending her hand, "General Barton!"

"Miss Gan!" Barton smiled and shook her hand, then smiled as he looked her up and down, "No wonder even the Duke is smitten with you, Miss Gan, you truly are extraordinary."

"You’re too kind." Gan Yuan smiled, "General, your prestige is known far and wide, and I’ve long admired your reputation, you are much younger than I imagined."

Barton laughed heartily, "I had the fortune to have lunch with the Duke in A Country before, the Duke paid special attention, if Miss Gan ever needs anything, just ask, don’t be polite."

"Then I’ll thank you in advance."

The two exchanged polite words, but in their hearts, they each suspected the other’s true intentions.

One had a blooming smile, the other was deep as a fortress, neither showed any gaps.

Finally, General Barton lowered his voice, "I heard that the young prince had an incident, any news...?"

Gan Yuan’s heart stirred, but her face remained impassive, "No news yet, otherwise, I would have brought him to attend your banquet."

General Barton showed a comforting expression, "I’ve also arranged for people to inquire, if there’s news, I’ll certainly inform you."

Gan Yuan snorted softly, then smiled at him, "Thank you very much."

"I am also a friend of the Duke, Miss Gan, please don’t be polite with me." General Barton looked warmly, "I’ll go attend to the guests first, Miss Gan, please enjoy yourself!"

Once Barton left, Helen snorted softly beside her.

"That old fox, he truly has some nerve."

Gan Yuan glanced around and noticed a young woman not far away, her brows furrowed. noveldrama

"It seems his nerve is matched by his black heart."

Helen followed her gaze and saw, not far away, a tall girl in a black evening dress talking and laughing with several guests, recognizing the identity, Helen also furrowed her brows tightly.

"Why did he invite her too?"

That girl was Lily, the daughter of the former president whom Gan Yuan had attempted to assassinate. General Barton invited Gan Yuan and also brought Lily, obviously with ill intentions.

Just as Helen finished speaking, Lily already noticed Gan Yuan, her smile froze, and she immediately walked towards Gan Yuan aggressively.

Helen stepped forward to protect Gan Yuan but was stopped by Gan Yuan’s outstretched hand.

From a distance, Barton greeted a guest, and his peripheral vision caught the scene, his lips curled into a cold smile.

At this moment, Lily had stormed up to Gan Yuan.

"You are Gan Yuan?"

Gan Yuan raised her chin slightly and spoke proudly, "What can I do for you, Miss?"

"Hmph!"

Lily snorted coldly, raising her hand to splash the wine in her glass towards Gan Yuan’s face.

Gan Yuan, having already sensed ill intent, reached out and pulled a nearby decorative scarf to shield herself, the wine splashed, but was blocked by the scarf, and the splashing wine fell on Lily’s feet, yet her own light-colored dress remained impeccably clean.

"You!"

Lily was furious, and took a step forward to grab her arm.

Smack!

Before Lily could lift her hand to grab her, Gan Yuan had already raised her hand and slapped her in return.

The slap was loud, immediately drawing attention from many people.

Lily raised her hand to cover her face, and after a few seconds of shock, she pointed at Gan Yuan and shouted, "Someone, get this bitch out of here!"
